Bachelor in Tourism Convention

Tourism Convention at Youngsan University focuses on the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions sector of the tourism industry, often referred to as the convention and events side of tourism. Coursework typically covers event planning and management, convention center operations, destination marketing, and the logistics involved in organizing large-scale meetings and exhibitions, alongside broader tourism subjects such as travel behavior and hospitality service. Students learn how conventions and large events are planned from proposal through execution, including budgeting, venue selection, vendor coordination, and marketing a destination to event organizers. Because conventions and exhibitions bring significant business to host cities, the field sits at the intersection of tourism, event management, and local economic development. Graduates commonly move into roles such as event coordinator, convention center staff, destination marketing professional, or meeting and exhibition planner, working for convention bureaus, hotels, exhibition centers, or corporate event teams. Tourism Convention is offered as a bachelor's degree at Youngsan University in Haeundae-gu, South Korea, with instruction in English. The program spans four years of full-time study, with intakes in March or September. Students drawn to this major should be comfortable with detail-oriented planning work and coordinating multiple stakeholders at once, since organizing conventions and exhibitions requires managing logistics, vendors, and client expectations across the lifecycle of an event.
